Heeley MP Meg Munn has welcomed the successful request by South Yorkshire Police for a Section 30 dispersal order for the Gaunt/Hemsworth Shops area of GleadlessValley for the next 6 weeks.

Meg said:

‘South Yorkshire Police put in a request for this Section 30 order, something which I fully supported. The Council have at long last granted this police request. Having the order will help the police move groups and individuals away from specified areas.

The police consulted widely before applying for this dispersal order – consulting with the Neighbourhood Action Group, Community Safety Partnership, TARA and Gleadless Valley Forum.’
